With the January 6 House Select Committee starting back with its public hearings today, failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump took to his pathetic Twitter substitute, Truth Social, and began railing against the committee, insisting that he wanted equal time.
Here’s what Trump posted shortly before the committee was gaveled into session:
“The Fake News Networks are perpetuating lies, falsehoods, and Russia, Russia, Russia type disinformation (same sick people, here we go again!) by allowing the low rated but nevertheless one sided and slanderous Unselect Committee hearings to go endlessly and aimlessly on (and on and on!),” he wrote. “It is a one sided, highly partisan Witch Hunt, the likes of which has never been seen in Congress before. Therefore, I am hereby demanding EQUAL TIME to spell out the massive Voter Fraud & Dem Security Breach!”
“I DEMAND EQUAL TIME!!!”
Of course, if Trump really wanted his side of the story to be heard, all he’d have to do is notify committee chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and let him know he wants to testify under oath in public and televised.
Of course, Trump won’t agree to show up and testify because he knows he’d commit perjury within a minute and a half of opening his mouth, leaving him open to being charged with that crime.
Also, as demented and scatterbrained as Trump is, can you imagine what a good attorney such as committee member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) would do to him? He’d destroy the Donald and leave nothing but orange fragments in place of where the disgraced ex-president had been sitting.
So, Donald, here’s a challenge: Have your “people” notify the committee that you want your equal time and you’ll probably get incredible ratings, which we all know are paramount to you because you’re a narcissistic asshole who thinks the world revolves around him.
What do you say, coward?
